Hey all!

You may have noticed by now that a new version was released. In this new version the changelog ("Show your changes" under the Extra section) has been enhanced - it now displays in the top right corner of WME and will persist when you mouse over. There is a max size set, to prevent the changelog from taking over you screen, and when the list grows too long it will gain a scrollbar.

This first round of changes captures almost all changes to segments and tries to present them in a user readable manner. Some additional handling has been added for creating/deleting various other elements (Places, junction box, roundabout, cameras) but I have not started in depth on any of them. Translation has not yet been added for some of the messages...sorry, will get around to it. Finishing Segment changes (as best as I can at least) is at the top of the list (somehow capturing segment name/city/state change if possible...it's rather complicated in the background) with focus on Places being next.

Along with this, you should have the latest country localizations, which for the US should include the correct lock level flagging for segments. Yay!

In the US we chose not use Autolock in production. It is available in beta for testing purposes since many other countries use the feature. This is working as designed.
I understand that, but while working in Beta, Magic is giving a false sense of the segment being locked when it is not.
Looks like it is checking rank and not lockRank for segments. I have not dealt with autolocking much, but I believe it should be checking lockRank and if null, then falling back to rank. I'll get it figured out.

You will get an area that has tons of those, as soon as Waze processes it. :)

Will be fixed in the next build.

Yes, it was removed for the US.

  • Same endpoints drivable segments - two drivable segments share the same two endpoints.
  • Node A/B: Unneeded - adjacent segments at node A/B are identical.
  • Reverse connection
For the first and third Toolbox already highlights those. Why duplicate the functionality?

I'm not sure I understand the 2nd item

Toolbox has the option to highlight simplifiable segments, if you want to continue highlighting them.

1) Why don't create a page with the "to do list" and the permalinks, like Validator does? It would be very useful.

2) When I look at the changelog (passing mouse over "save" button) I can only see the segment numbers, but not the permalink, but it's easier to find a segment using the permalink, much easier then using segment no.

Thanks in advance,
Andrea.
Because the script is still heavily under development. Be patient - dbcm has done 98% of the development and I am just starting to get into it as well while I take a break from the dozen+ other scripts I maintain. Only two of us working on it so it might be a little slow going for a while :)

Hello:
So the blue dot of "google street" does not work, the screen becomes white and it blocks until pressing "f5"
This is not a Magic feature - this is native to WME. Nothing we can do.

You were clear :) I haven't had time yet to investigate. There are some other unneeded junction issues that need looked at as well.
